Hi,

look in the documention of your Web Container how to configure JAAS. Most of the container, such as Jetty, come with a JDBC JAAS Login module ready to use.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello all,

I am learning my ways through Struts having done Servlets and JSPs before. In order to have authentication functionalities with my Servlets I used to have a user table and a roles table. Once the user logs in he/she would be authenticated with the user name, password through Tomcat as it was configured with the database information, table name, etc.

I would like to do pretty much the same with Struts. I have checked the O'Reilly Struts Cookbook but, although it has great authentication tips, it does not include a recipe to have authentication with a database. Is there any article on how to perform it with Struts? Any books that you would suggest?

So what I think is that I should have a model class to do this kind of authentication rather than using the XML config files. However how would I include all the roles in that class? Have a data structure like a list maybe? That way I could always check for a specific role for every JSP or action whether the user would be allowed or not. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

C.F.
